Quotes About Consciousness

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner reality.

For example, if you wake up and you think, Where's my pain? your familiar pain soon appears because you expected it to be there.

So if you want to change a belief or perception, you have to first change your state of being. And changing your state of being means changing your energy, because in order for you to affect matter, you have to become more energy and less matter, more wave and less particle. That requires you to combine a clear intention and an elevated emotion—those are the two ingredients. As

Our beliefs aren't always as conscious as we think they are. We may very well accept an idea on the surface, but if deep down, we don't really believe it's possible, then our acceptance is just an intellectual process. Because calling upon the placebo effect requires us to truly change our beliefs about ourselves and what's possible for our bodies and our health, we need to understand what beliefs are and where they come from.

Our attention brings everything to life and makes real what was previously unnoticed or unreal.

When feelings have become the means of thinking in this manner—or we can't think greater than how we feel—then we're in the program. Our thinking is how we feel, and our feelings are how we think.

mind is the brain in action),

allí donde pones la atención pones la energía.

our awareness alone can have an important physical effect on our bodies and our health. What we learn, the language that's used to define what we'll experience, and how we assign meaning to the explanations that are offered all affect our intention—and when we put greater intention behind what we're doing, we naturally get better results.

If you string a group of related beliefs together, they form your perception. So your perception of reality is a sustained state of being that's based on your long-standing beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and feelings.

In fact, scientific experiments have shown that you don't see reality as it truly is. Instead, you unconsciously fill in your reality based on your memories of the past, which is what's neurochemically maintained in your brain.2 When perceptions become implicit or nondeclarative (as was discussed in the last chapter), they become automatic or subconscious so that you automatically edit reality subjectively.

With repeated practice, you can become so aware of the old patterns that you never allow them to manifest to fruition.

Reality and our interaction with it is a progression of ideas and beliefs.

That's because when you fall asleep, you naturally shift though the entire spectrum of brain-wave states, going from your waking, beta state to the slower alpha state, when you close your eyes, to the slower-still theta state, when you're half-asleep and half-awake, all the way down to the deep-sleep delta brain-wave state.

A good rule of thumb: Don't watch anything on television or on the Internet or participate in any mode of entertainment that you don't want to experience—not only before bed, but ever.

The observer effect in quantum physics states that where you direct your attention is where you place your energy. As a consequence, you affect the material world.

There's a future you—a you who already exists in the eternal present moment—who is actually calling himself or herself to the more familiar you who is reading this book.

if your expectation is that your future will be like your past, then you are not only thinking in the past, but also selecting a known future based only on your past and emotionally embracing that event until your body (as the unconscious mind) believes that it's living in that future in the present moment.

Just as thoughts are the language of the brain, feelings are the language of the body. And how you think and how you feel create a state of being.

When our consciousness is not evolving, neither is our energy.

Isn't it ironic, then, that we keep all of our attention on the 0.00001 percent of reality that is physical? Are we missing something?

it's both information and frequency that give rise to the blueprints of matter. And when we're demonstrating an elevated level of awareness and energy, it's these elements that influence matter—because matter is created from a lowering of frequency and information.

If you keep the stress response turned on for extended periods of time, the long-term effects keep slowing down the frequency of the body such that it becomes more and more particle and less and less wave. That means that there's less consciousness, energy, and information available for atoms, molecules, and chemicals to share. As a result, you become matter trying futilely to change matter—you are a body trying without success to change a body.

Pero sólo cuando el observador se fija en cualquier localización de un electrón, es cuando aparece ese electrón. En suma, una partícula no puede manifestarse en la realidad, es decir, en el espacio-tiempo tal como nosotros lo conocemos, hasta que es observada.
